And Ishihara Waner, as always, quickly clashed with the new deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Ryosuke Isotani, and in a fit of rage, he came to leave uninvited, took off his military uniform, left a resignation report, and ran back to the book.

Ishihara's actions made Tojo Hideki very happy, and he was waiting for such an opportunity to deal with this subordinate who blatantly defied him.

Ishihara's approach made his superior, who was also his friend Seishiro Itagaki, extremely anxious, in order to reduce the impact of this incident and not give others an excuse, under the persuasion of Itagaki, Ishihara Waner was finally admitted to Todai Hospital under the arrangement of Itagaki on the grounds of recuperation.

As the saying goes, officials don't step on patients, which makes Hideki Tojo, who wants to take the opportunity to rectify Ishihara, have no reason to be punished.

Hideki Tojo was so angry that he said privately that he should preemptively send Ishihara to a mental hospital instead of Todai, where he lives now.

Because Ishihara Waner and Shangguan have not handled the relationship well, many people have also stayed away from him.

It is precisely because of this that this strategist, who can be said to be the only strategist among the graduates of the army university who has been operating dismally for decades, stayed at the school as an instructor after graduation, and later went to Germany to study, and this time to the Kwantung Army, but he could not enter the general staff headquarters.

He was particularly interested in history, philosophy, and biographies, especially Napoleon. He is said to be one of the few people who can read Clausewitz's "On War."

is also this alternative, it is he who is actively planning the 918 incident with Seishiro Itagaki and others, and this alternative has also become the de facto mastermind of this earth-shattering conspiracy as Nakasa.

Also in July 29, during a field break during a staff trip to Northern Manchuria, Ishihara Wanji first published his "theory of the final war" and "the theory of the ownerlessness of the land in Manchuria" to the staff officers of the Kwantung Army, including his superior Itagaki Seishiro.

Ishihara's novel ideas impressed Seishiro Itagaki very much, and he wrote them down in his notebook word for word.

After returning to Mukden, Seishiro Itagaki brought in Hanaya Masashi and Shintaro Imada of the Mukden secret service to study and scrutinize it again with Ishihara Waner.

From then on, Ishihara Wanji, Itagaki Seishiro, Hanaya Masa, and Imada Shintaro met once or twice a week to study how to provoke a dispute with the Tohoku Army and take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Tohoku. By the end of last year, they had drawn up a well-thought-out plan to occupy the northeast.

Once you have a plan, you have to actively plan and implement it, and Seishiro Itagaki, Ishihara Wanji, and Hanaya, who were already impatient, immediately began to look for candidates to participate in the implementation of the plan and choose a meeting venue.

Because the Kwantung Army Headquarters was in Lushun, Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Waner, who were staff officers of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, did not have their own offices in Shenyang, and special activities could only be carried out secretly by Hanaya in the Mukden secret service.

In the past, it was easy to do, because there were not many people who came and went, and it was possible to hide it from the previous head of the agency. However, now with the arrival of Kenji Dohihara, this will not work.

This is because, as the time for the upcoming large-scale military operation approaches, the number of people they need to summon is not only increasing, but also becoming more and more intensive, and it is impossible to hide from the current head of the secret service, Kenji Dohihara, and the uninformed people in the Mukden secret service.

And once the matter is discovered and reported by Kenji Dohihara, a figure who can directly poke the situation to any high-level of the Great Empire, then they will probably have to stop this long-planned plan, otherwise they will only have to go to court-martial, and they will never have the chance to realize the "great ideal" they dream of in their hearts.

Therefore, the three of them agreed to take the opportunity of this report from Liaoyang to Honjo Shigeru to reveal the most crazy war plan they had agreed upon to Tufeihara and Pan, so as to obtain Tufeiyuan's support.

Itagaki Seishiro and Doshihara were classmates at the non-commissioned officer school, and although the two had a general relationship before, Seishiro Itagaki still knew a little about Dohihara.

Although he lacked courage, he was thoughtful, clear-headed, and reasonable, and he understood the necessary and urgent need to occupy Manchuria. Therefore, Itagaki believes that the likely surname of convincing Dohihara is very large.

Therefore, before Itagaki Seishiro got on the bus in Liaoyang, he specially invited Dohihara to ride in the same car with them, and in order to keep it secret, he also drove the driver away, and Hanaya Zheng drove it himself.

After listening to the crazy plan that Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara had just introduced to him, Dohihara was both shocked and excited.

What made Doihara excited was that when he took office in Tokyo as the head of the Kwantung Army's Mukden secret service, there were rumors circulating in Tokyo that the Kwantung Army was about to launch an incident in Tohoku. On 11 June, Lu Nanjiro ordered Major General Miji Kenkawa, director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters, to preside over the convening of the Nagata Tetsuyama Military Section (Section), the head of the Okamura Ninji Supplementary Section, the head of the European and American Section of Watara Chiki, and the head of the Chiaki Shigeto China Section of the Ministry of War and the General Staff Headquarters, to study the "Manchurian-Mongolian issue" and a few days later to form the so-called "Outline of the Program for Resolving the Manchu-Mongolian Issue."

According to the arrangement of this outline, it is said that Ben will take military action against Northeast China "for about a year"; Internally, the prime minister should familiarize all cabinet ministers with the "Manchurian and Mongolian situation"; Externally, it is necessary to obtain the "understanding" of all countries; At the same time, anticipate the required forces and be prepared. And as far as he knew, in July, Mitsuharu Miyake, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, had secretly issued the above-mentioned "Outline" and directives to high-ranking officials of the Kwantung Army.

According to Chiaki Shigeto, the main reason why this plan was set for a year later was that the military department was under tremendous pressure from the cabinet.

Chiaki Shigeto also revealed that in fact, the cabinet is not resolutely opposed to waging war against China, mainly because they are still apprehensive about the intervention of the three countries in the past, and the cabinet believes that they need about a year to prepare for diplomacy.

Even the appointment of Shigeru Honjo and him, as well as the appointment of Miji Kenkawa as chief of operations of the General Staff Headquarters, were all personnel arrangements made to ensure the implementation of this plan one year later.

However, now his old classmates had told him in person that the middle and lower rank and young officers of the Kwantung Army, headed by his old classmates, had secretly drawn up more radical plans last year, and now they could not wait, and the occupation of Manchuria-Mongolia would soon be realized in their hands.

In addition to the excitement, this crazy plan made Tu Feiyuan feel extremely shocked.

Let's not say that the opinion on China formed by the Cabinet and the Military Department is that it advocates slowing down, waiting for internal and external understandings to be obtained, and then launching action when the time is ripe. Compared with the plan of the military headquarters, their plan is completely different from violating military orders, that is, provoking a foreign war without an order from the military department, which is a capital crime.

Moreover, the Kwantung Army was not at all prepared for war, and the military headquarters had just abolished the rotation system of the Kwantung Army's troops and changed it to a permanent system, and only a few months ago transferred the Second Division, which had fought in the Northeast during the Russo-Russian War, to the Northeast and added one division to Korea.

Because it was peacetime, the Second Division was not yet full, but because the order was so urgent that the Second Division did not even have time to replenish its troops, it hurriedly set foot on the land of Manchuria.

At present, the army has only one second division and six reading garrisons in the northeast, with a total of more than 14,000 people. On the contrary, there were more than 100,000 troops left in the Northeast Army in the Northeast, and they dared to take the initiative to provoke a war when there was such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides! It's just madness.

However, after all, Tu Feiyuan was a figure who had been engaged in secret work for more than ten years, and he gradually controlled his excitement, and carefully looked at the three "crazy people" who were in the same car with him one by one with a complicated expression.

He couldn't believe that his own eyes were the three "madmen" in front of him, who dared to hide from almost all of their superiors and make such a crazy plan.

Of the three, Seishiro Itagaki is undoubtedly their leader, and not just because Itagaki has the highest military rank.

He knew his old classmate for his coldness, tenacity, and bravery, but also for his military resourcefulness. As long as he discovers even the slightest flaw in his opponent with his extremely keen insight, he will resolutely pounce on it without scruples, and strive to break the enemy with one blow, and never drag the mud and water. Such a person is definitely a natural commander.

And the alternative Ishihara Wan'er in front of him, which he had heard of for a long time, must also be the mastermind of this earth-shattering conspiracy, and such a crazy plan can only be done by him, otherwise he will be called "No. 7" in vain.

And this subordinate of his own who had only met for a day could clearly feel from his demeanor that this subordinate was extremely wary of his superior, and this vigilance would naturally turn into hostility under certain circumstances. Such a person without a city government will obviously only be an executor with fanatical passion.

Kenji Dohihara still admires the courage and guts of the three "madmen" in front of him in his heart.

There has always been a tradition of going down in the army, but compared with the things planned by these madmen now, those things in the past have become trivial things that are absolutely not worth mentioning.

You know, the plans of these madmen deceived not only the Kwantung Army Command, but also the military headquarters and the cabinet, and it can even be said that they deceived the supreme Holy Emperor. If this plan is put into practice, it can definitely be said that it is a big basket.

If it fails, the people involved will definitely not be as simple as just losing their positions and dismissing their posts, they will either cut their own stomach or go to the guillotine......
